Chapter Overview

This chapter shows you how to use the Locations page of Admin View to add the locations of the Cisco Interactive Experience Client (IEC) devices, which are the endpoints of the Cisco Patient Connect solution that deliver Patient View to the patients. This chapter also provides information on how the Locations page is used to upload Active Directory IDs and staff images maps.

Each IEC is given the following location data to make it easy for the administrator to pinpoint its location:

7. Extension

8. RB location
